There is no moderation, no rules, and no restraint.
Its going exactly how youd imagine.
People are streaming the kinds of things that are normally taboo on the mainstream internet.
One dev is sitting on a toilet until his coin reaches a $50 million market cap.
This is SHITCOIN and if the timer behind him is to be believed, hes been there for82 hours.
If I dont achieve this then I have failed.
Pump.fun is fun in the way that the Roman coliseum was fun.
Pump.fun is fun in the wayBumfights was fun.
Trevvs current method of juicing coins is walking into public spaces in blackface and screaming racial slurs.
The lack of moderation makes this stuff possible, but so does thelow barrier to entry.
Anyone can create a meme coinfor free.
A user just needs to hit the create button, name their memecoin and come up with a ticker.
Once created, a user can start livestreaming to pump the coin.
The goal here, according to a pop-up on the site is to prevent rug pulls.
Pump prevents rugs by making sure that all created tokens are safe.
each coin on pump is a fair-launch with no presale and no team allocation, the site says.
There have, of course, been some rug pulls on Pump.fun.

Crypto accounts on X loved this.
The kid launched GenZ QUAINT on Pump.fun and it took off.
Thanks for the 20 bandos, he said as he jumped around the room.
The crypto accounts whod shown the kid love were pissed and they got their revenge by pumping QUAINT.
It hit a market cap of $85 million in a few hours.

The kid became a meme legend that even the Pump.fun official account on X memed on.
Its hard to imagine a world where the fun of Pump.fun continues unabated and unregulated, but who knows?
We live in wild times.
Pump.funs popularity is a reflection of that.

Theres been at least one staged hanging.
A kid threatened to kill his family with a shotgun to drive up the price of his coin.
One dev paraded a woman he said was his mother naked on camera to drive hype.
Another revealed his alleged sisters breasts when his coin hit a milestone.
Another dev, Mikol, set himself on fire live on camera and went to the hospital withthird-degree burns.
